Morning



'RIGHT BACK WHERE WE STATED FROM' MAXINE NIGHTINGALE

My goodness - it's Wednesday already. Hello Simon, Team & Constructors.



I do hope the mosh-spectaculars were scheduled to have a short life - and the fact that this is the last one is NOT the result of the whingeing minority. With Dr Mosh in glorious voice - what a joyous 12 minutes they provide!



Message to Matt - there are millions out there who love you. Including a few babies I know

:^D





Good luck with your Choon Chasing, Blogmates

I flatly refuse to accept that the summer is over. You can almost guarantee, that the day the kids go back, that the sun will come out and we will have a couple of weeks of glorious weather, it happens every year.



Mind you, having said that, I am thinking of getting the thicker duvet ( which has only just been put away!) back out. Was a tad chilly in bed last night.



Right, I am now paying the price, for taking four days off and have a lawn full of apples to contend with. Strangely enough, there still seems to be the same amount still in the tree.



Hope everyone is ok, have had a speed read through, a huge whoop whoop to Mo. Well done to you.



MTF.xx

Morning all and in an irony filled day it is slightly brighter here in Pudsey, ie light grey skies as opposed to dark grey skies! Hope you get the picture? Tunes? Well the ironic continues, I'll give a vote for "Boys of Summer" by Don Henley or "Seasons in the Sun" by ???????. And a I give you a plethora of U2 suggestions. How about:

"Bullet the Blue Sky"

"Indian Summer Sky"

OR "October" because it feels like it ouside!

MTF.xx

Or a bit more random: KAISER CHIEFS - EVERY DAY I LOVE YOU LESS AND LESS

Good Morning all



Certainly feels like the end of summer today here in Brittany, a chill in the air combined with gentle rain.



Suggestions for todays tunes are :-



WHEN WILL I SEE YOU AGAIN - 3 DEGREES



TIME OF THE SEASON - ZOMBIES



ITS OVER - ROY ORBISON



and for the return to work



MANIC MONDAY - THE BANGLES



BACK ON THE CHAIN GANG - PRETENDERS



enjoy the day

Time for a coffee break and a bit of a catch up from yesterday's blog.



Ken - thank you X 2. For the Ryan Adams clip. And for reminding me that the Bill Nighy drama was called 'Page eight'. I agree - there's really not enough of him on our screens, a very fine actor indeed.



Shona - re the eye thingy phone. I agree it's very sensitive - when I first got mine I kept accidentally sending texts before I'd finished writing them, so the recipients would get half a message. Still do it occasionally, actually. I love it though - thinking of getting an upgrade when the new one comes out.



Hi to Bids! Nice to see you over here.



~X~

Morning all. I'm feeling sympathy for Matt this morning (in my case too many mojitos rather than tequila - but the outcome is the same). I too love the extended mosh and will eagerly await it's Christmas return.



Oldies - a repeat of others for the moment:

Forever Autumn - Justin Heywood

Aint no Sunshine - Bill Withers

Rainy Days and Mondays - The Carpenters



Must dash ... running late!

Morning all on the last day of Summer :0(



Just a very very quick pop by........three word Wednesday.............Dog Caught Rabbit!!!! Three word Wednesday Part 2...............Dropped and ran.................phew!!!



My end of Summer mensh chasers are all by the almighty Simon & Garfunkel.



1. The times they are a-changin'

2. Homeward Bound

3. A hazy shade of Winter

4. Leaves that are green

5. Slip slidin' away

6. Flowers never bend with the rainfall

7. So long, Frank LLoyd Wright



A few poetic lyrics and a touch of melancholy seem appropriate on such a grey day.



Dougal x



P.S Well done to the soon to be Nordic one!

P.P.S I've really enjoyed reading back...just have got no time to join in much...very shoddy and will have to get my time management back on track!!!!

#43 It was nice to watch something on the box that wasn't afraid to use a well-written, intelligent script.



One review I read suggested it was well-written and performed but the story perhaps lacked something.



I didn't really agree with the last bit, but even if I had I would still have loved it for the fact that for 100 glorious minutes of superb, witty and clever dialogue we weren't all treated as if our attention spans can't last more than 5 minutes (Flog-it, art gallery/flogging shows hosted by Chris Hollins, etc. etc. etc. ad-infinitum please take note).

I'm in danger of bursting here. How do you stop yourself from laughing out loud when a very refined, older lady picks up a book called "Popular Poultry Breeds" and then turns to her husband and says, "Oooooo, that's just like Cecil's cock".



Honestly, it has just happened!!!!

I like Matt's moshing voice but not too many moshing songs together!



A few more tunes to add to today's list!





OUR LAST SUMMER ~ Abba



SUMMER'S ALMOST GONE ~ The Doors



LAZY HAZY CRAZY DAYS OF SUMMER ~ Nat King Cole



THE OTHER SIDE OF SUMMER ~ Elvis Costello



x

#45 Oops, Dougal! Glad there was a happy ending. The rabbit my dog caught a while ago wasn't so lucky, sadly. It's interesting though - the local rabbits seem to have twigged that when dogs are on the lead they are not a threat. Mr B nearly tripped over one yesterday morning!



~X~

Ken playing 'Theme One' the George Martin & Orchestra version, that opened and closed BBCR1 back in the day.

Love the VdGG original which got me thinking of #progsongsthatwontbeplayed



Forsaken Gardens - Van der Graaf Generatorr

I Talk To The Wind - King Crimson

Being an Eagles Fan.

Boys of Summer - Don Henley

End of the Innocence - Don Henley

Tequila Sunrise - Eagles

Already Gone - Eagles

Feel the need to second #25 PSL.....



YOU'VE MADE ME SO VERY HAPPY BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS



LOL

Good Morning Each! Stock taking today (end of our financial year), si I won't be around much this morning. Hope to be able to return this afto.



In the meantime...



'Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground' by The White Stripes



'Summers Almost Gone' by The Doors



'Sunshine Day' by Jethro Tull

Why can’t they be like they used to be only yesterday.

Ooh --- bring back my sunshine day.)



'Autumn Almanac' by The Kinks



'Seasons In The Sun' by Terry Jacks



'Autumn' by The Edgar Winter Group

Morning!



Simon, glad you had a better night's sleep. On the very odd occasion when I find sleep doesn't come easily, I count backwards from 200 in sevens!



As far as tunes go, can't think of anything that hasn't been chosen. So can I please share with #41? I absolutely adore;



GREEN DAY - WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS



Thank you.



Pen, reigning queen of ARFO!

#47 lol Harry. I nearly snorted tea up my nose just reading it. I don't know how you kept a straight face!



A couple more oldie suggestions:

Back to Black - Amy Winehouse (describes my work wardrobe perfectly)

A Bell Will Ring - Oasis

Don't Look Back in Anger - Oasis

Get Back - The Beatles

Colder Weather - The Zac Brown Band (surprised this lovely song hasn't made it across the Atlantic, although I think Bob Harris has played it)

Freedom - Wham (for parents rather than kids or teachers!)

Here You Come Again - Dolly Parton (the somewhat weary sentiment of teachers everywhere)

Ordinary World -Duran Duran

LOL Pen. Thanks for reminding us. Congtrats btw, did let out a huge 'whoop whoop' for you.



MTF.xx

#47 Harryhahahahahaha!

Is the defeat at soccer of London teams by Manchester teams, this weekend, an angry northern response to a London-based BBC presenter's decision to stay put and not move with the BBC to present programmes in Manchester?

HOLIDAY ROMANCE by THE KINKS (that was the end of my holiday romance)

SUMMERS END by FOO FIGHTERS

AUTUMN SONG by VAN MORRISON (birthday August 31st)

AUGUST by LOVE (not that many songs about August that I can think of)

THE THINGS WE DID LAST SUMMER by FRANK SINATRA

Hmm, VDG's "Theme One" is conspicuous by its absence from my collection. I may need to address that at some stage, presumably it can be done pretty cheaply these days. A reminder of Friday nights with headphones clamped to head listening to TV on the radio.

hi all



TIME OF THE SEASON-zombies



SEASONS IN THE SUN-terry jacks



FOREVER AUTUMN-justin hayward

Afternoon all



Summer holidays are now over for me; we got back from sunny France last night!



Will wander back over the blogs to see what you've all been up to.



Back later



Tortie x

Hi all. Know what you mean about lack of sleep- the three worder of the day has to be "awake all night" for a number of reasons, mainly trivial. In the spirit of the end of summer then, Why not try "Forever Autumn" from Justin Hayward, a defiant" And I am telling You I'm not Going" by Jeniffer HOLLIDAY, no one else.Or, Housemartins "I Smell Winter" or, one of the greatest records of this or any other era,"Changes" by David Bowie.

D x

Big news of the day :-



New Half Man Half Biscuit Album - 90 Bisodol



Out end of September



Couple of the track seem required listing :-



Something's Rotten in the back of Iceland



And



Tommy Walsh's Eco house

Afternoon all



Just a quick poop in as STILL v busy :(



#57 KatyMac - I had to look twice as I thought that Cornish Darren Fewins was back on the blog!



Can I second Forever autumn and Seasons in the Sun, which I think is as old as I am and which I have loved from being a small boy, strange how certain songs resonate with you.



Can I also suggest



SEPTEMBER MORN - NEIL DIAMOND



I haven't had chance to catch up, but congrats to Viking Mo - hope you enjoy Norway.



Can I also recommend listening to the Pete Townsend documentary, as it was excellent.



Cheers



A

Hi Simon,



I'm agreeing with #41 and #54 - definitely play Green Day

WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS



Thanks,

Happy Birthday to Gill the Wigan Lass - not seen around these parts for a while. Hope you're lurking, and having a great day.



Welcome back Tortie - how was France?



We watched 'The boy in the striped pyjamas' last night. Amazing film! It's a fairly well known film/book, but for those that don't know it's about a young German boy who's father becomes the Kommandant of a Jewish 'work camp', and the boy befriends a boy in the camp by talking to him across the perimiter fence. I won't say how it ends, but it was quite harrowing and not what I'd expected at all. Mr B and I just sat there stunned, while the credits rolled. I think as well that having been to the holocaust museum in Jerusalem earlier this year, I got more of an insight into what it must have been like.



~X~

#64 Wharfedale Andy heard about this a couple of weeks ago! The track listing alone sounds fantastic, Excavating Rita and Rock and Roll is Full of Bad Wools caught my eye.



GB

Where did the morning go?!



#67 I need to talk to you (or Mr Deebee) about your trip, Deebee. I loved both the book and the film. And even though I had read the book before seeing the film, I still managed to be shocked at the end.



Forgot to watch the Bill Nighy prog. Must find time to watch on iplayer.



Welcome back, Tortie. Is that you all holidayed out for the year?



Happy birthday, Gill!



#47 LOL LOL, H!



Hello everyone else. Looking forward to Dr Mosh with a hangover voice ;-)



X

Wharfedfale Andy. You probably are already aware of this site, but just in case...

#68



Simonward1964



Will be adding that to my order list of a certain internet retailer

Hey peeps, happy Wednesday. Nice topic today, the weather has been trying to tell us for a while hasn't it! SUMMER OVER. Boo and indeed Hoo.



My tuppence worth below, particularly proud of the Don't Leave one...



When The Leaves Come Falling Down - Van Morrison

I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine - Beth Orton

Sunshine On A Rainy Day - Zoe

The Things We Did Last Summer - Frank Sinatra

Hazy Shade Of Winter - Simon And Garfunkel

Walk Out to Winter - Aztec Camera

Fade To Grey - Visage

Autumn Leaves - Nat King Cole

Don't(,) Leave - Faithless

What a numpty. I pressed the wrong button...



https://www.chrisrand.com/hmhb/

Ps. Ryan Adams - AMAZING LAST NIGHT. And more cheery than I was expecting. Can't wait for the album.

No one's suggested Summer Loving (Grease) yet. I am not in any way suggesting it. Just saying, that's all.

# 73 Thanks a lot Paul , will be pursuing that tonight ,



But in light of the recent troubles in the country , i thought this might be appropriate



"Tell PC McGarry to get himself a mate

And arm themselves with CS gas

They’re gonna be out late

We’ve had Cant conformism since 1966

And now subversion’s in the air in the shape of flying bricks

Someone get a message through to Captain Snort

That they’d better start assembling the boys from the fort

And keep Mrs Honeyman right out of sight

‘Cos there’s gonna be a riot down in Trumpton tonight"

#47 Harry that was so funny fancy being called Cecil!!!

Ah, Andy, quoting HMHB lyrics. I wanted to do that yesterday, in my combined congratulations/podiatrical warning to Mo, upon the news of her impending move to Stavanger. For reasons that I am sure will be obvious to you, I didn't.

Over an hour without a posting? What did I say?

nothing...literally!

#47 Very funny Harry :D



It will be news to no-one that this Summer has been the coldest one we've had for almost 20 years https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/08/31/uk-weather-this-summer-se_n_942882.html



It hasn't really bothered me that much, because I'm not one for heat, and it's been mainly dry here, in fact our lawn is looking the worse for the lack of rainfall :(



Still haven't got everything the twins need for starting back at school either *rolls eyes* 6 weeks holidays, and I have to leave it all until the last minute as usual!

#79 see #78



;o)



I like the thought of the Drivetime team going out for the evening together. Do you suppose they take their partners with them? Or is it like any work-based outing, with the colleagues talking shop and the plus ones feeling a bit like spare parts, not really knowing what to say to each other and trying desperately to find some common ground...?



~X~

#82 that last sentence makes a bit more sense if the word 'or' is replaced by 'and'...



~X~

#82 It sounded like a work jolly to me! Maybe the tequila might not have been flowing so freely, if their other half's had been around to cast them a disapproving eye ;)

Ah, there you all are.



Ô¿Ô

Ooh! Only just made it!



Afternoon All!

Hello Billie :)



It's almost showtime, and I have washing up to do! Boo.



Will try to listen out for menshes etc.



Good luck one and all :)

Afternoon everyone.



#47 Harry, that made me burst out laughing - thankfully I'm at home now. You couldn't make it up, could you! V Funny.



#67 Deebee, I read the book before I saw the film. The book is such a quick and easy read. Written like an 8 year old boy but def not for 8 year old children!



#75 Sadly Duncan, I suggested that song earlier - brain lacking a bit and it was one of a few I could think of at the time.



All of a sudden, nearly pitch black here. Ready for a downpour. Will wait until after 5.20 before I go swimming with the dogs - hopefully no rabbits in our wake!



Here we go with the show



Good luck everybody



Shona x

Sally Boasman. Fancy a game of Scrabble?

Can I play too Paul ? I love it!

Ooooh Lot's of blog menchies there! Well done everyone!

And we're off!



Don Henley of course. Simon suggested himself of course.



Menshes for Zoe, KopiteIan and Billie! Congrats & Welldones to us!

#90. Check twitter.

#93 Just tweeted you I think Paul - if I did it correctly.

#94. Got it, ta!

Anglesey Woman Delighted.



Turn Turn Turn - Byrds - A doublemensh. A Splendid Song.

Quick visit between Teatime and the Quiz - am I time for the Dr Mosh Spectacular?
